Manchester United have reportedly inquired about Bayern Munich star Leroy Sané but could face a showdown with Arsenal over his signature.
Sane’s contract expires in the summer and, after losing his place to Michael Olise, he has reportedly considered leaving.
The explosive former Manchester City star has won three Bundesliga titles with Bayern, scoring 51 goals and creating 50 assists since joining in 2020 for £55million.
United’s interest in him has been reported a couple of times over the years, while Arsenal kept an eye on him over the summer, according to Sky Germany.
Now image have stated that both clubs could compete for his services during the summer, although he is still negotiating an extension of his stay in Bavaria. Reports say he is keen to stay at the Allianz Arena.
Man United and Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane.
United have inquired about the former Manchester City winger, whose contract expires this summer
Pep Guardiola once described him as the best winger in the world while at City.
Football finance website. Capology claims that Sane pockets around £16.6m per season with the German powerhouses, making him one of their biggest earners alongside Harry Kane, Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller.
While his stock has fallen over the last year due to inconsistent form, securing Sane, 28, on a free transfer would be a huge coup for either party.
The winger, once the fastest player in Premier League history, won two Premier League titles under Pep Guardiola before leaving for a new challenge in Germany.
He struck up an intuitive understanding with Kane when the Englishman arrived in the summer of 2023 and has stepped up on big occasions for Bayern.
Sané scored a fantastic goal in last season’s Champions League semi-finals against Real Madrid.
However, staying fit has been a headache for the German.
Transfermarkt lists seven different injuries last season and he has already had two layoffs since the summer, although he has been fit since the beginning of September.
He underwent successful groin surgery in July after bouts of pelvic pain last season.
The arrival of Michael Olise from Crystal Palace has meant that the winger almost always falls on the bench.
Manchester United and Arsenal could take him for free if he does not renew his contract
Particularly known for his speed over short and long distances, Sané can play on both flanks but has typically gone on the right with Serge Gnabry on the left for Bayern.
He left City in 2020 because he felt Bayern’s style suited him better and Guardiola has always been full of praise for him.
“Sane is the best in the world at playing on the pitch,” Guardiola said in 2019, hailing him as an “incredible player.”
However, this campaign he has been displaced by former Crystal Palace man Olise and is only getting the chance to prove himself from the bench, something few top stars tend to tolerate for long.
